play

08/06/20 • 67 min

Join Hannah and Tareq for the pre-season finale episode about all things green (and yellow, red, orange, etc.). They address the murky folklore and fake science smatterings about The Plant Paradox Diet and its main enemy: lectins. They're a protein found in many fruits, vegetables, and dairy products but why do lectins get such a bad wrap? Are they really toxic? What are the actual documented adverse effects some people seem to go on about? Tareq and Hannah break it down. BS of the Week: Greenwashing.

It's time we sharpened our knives and emptied that one drawer full of rubber bands and talked about food skills!

No BS Nutrition - How to Actually Enjoy Exercise
play

07/01/20 • 64 min

What is Joyful Movement and how does it compare to regular exercise? Often times exercise is primarily associated with dieting, weight loss and changing our looks. What if we shifted our mindset around exercise to focus on self-care and the benefits that aren’t necessarily weight related? What if we stopped dreading exercise and adopted movement we truly enjoy? By doing these things, could it make exercise easier to do and more sustainable long-term? What counts as movement anyways? Press play to hear our thoughts and tips for adopting joyful movement practices. BS of the Week: “Fruit First”

This is also Tareq’s first Brain Bite! Instead of the usual BS of the Week, Tareq shares some new data about plant chemicals called flavonoids and how recent research shows how they might decrease risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
